### Basic Information: Printer Model: A8 (Modified) MCU / Printerboard:MKS SGEN\_L Host / SBC: Octopi klippy.log: AWOL _Fill out above information and_ **_in all cases attach your_ `klippy.log` _file_** (use zip to compress it, if too big). _Pasting your_ `printer.cfg` _is **not** needed_ _ **Be sure to check our “Knowledge Base” Category first. Most relevant items, e.g. error messages, are covered there** _ ### Describe your issue: I was moved to run the “screws\_tilt\_calculate” command and it seems that I have reconfigured my print head since I set up the printer.cfg because the probe misses the bed. I have changed the values in the “[screws\_tilt\_adjust]” section in the printer.cfg and restarted, but it keeps using the old values. I’m stumped. ---

And now we are supposed to use our crystal balls? You know the drill - attach `klippy.log` and, in this case, `printer.cfg`. And honestly, even writing this over and over again is extremely tedious and does not contribute to my willingness to help - especially for someone who is not new. ---

I told you already: klippy.log is AWOL. Octopi flashes a message at startup to say that it is missing. Clearly what has happened is that there has been an update that I didn’t hear about and various things have been moved around, meaning that Octopi is looking at a different printer.cfg to what klipper is looking at… ---

Now, I want to make something clear: I don’t care if it is AWOL or on holiday on the ISS. Please post when you have the relevant information. It is simply brazen to waste our time with questions that force us to practically beg for information to **support your issue**. From here, I can only recommend that you tread carefully. ---

> [@Hairyloon](#): > > Octopi is looking at a different printer.cfg OctoPi is looking at nothing. It’s the OS of OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi. And even OctoPrint does not care. The printer config is just a matter of Klipper. ---

Then there will be a klippy.log since Klipper is running and being used, it may not be where it should be but it is somewhere in the folders of Linux. ---

On a OctoPi/OctoPrint system it should be at ```auto /tmp/klippy.log ``` ---

Now it is at ~/printer\_data/logs/klippy.log How it got there, I do not know, because I didn’t move it and I don’t remember doing any updates that would have moved it. I guess it was at the same time that the virtual serial device got moved from /tmp/printer to ~/printer\_data/comms/klippy.serial That caused me some problems… and I’m not sure they’ve gone away: I still keep having trouble connecting sometimes… ---

Ah, that makes sense, it just worked out of the box as if it had been intgerated into Octoprint. [quote]How did you setup Klipper on OctoPrint. What guide did you use?
